Hopefully the war between the Sith Empire & the Old Republic will last something like 2000-3000 years (1k before the movies), o we may yet to see differents "evolutions" between the two parties.

I would prefer that it ended within our characters' lifetimes. It would be nice to see that the heroes that emerged after the Treaty of Coruscant successfully ended the war. Nevertheless, it wouldn't make sense for the conflict to last until 1000 BBY--it is established as is that a separate Sith Order rises against the Republic in 2000 BBY.

I would assume the Imperial insignia-merging would occur as well.
